but exactly how does a DE's college stats
plenty of defensive schemes can cause #'s to become infalted. 1 gap vs 3 gap DT, 3/4 DE vs 4/3 DE. The offense u play against can cause a # fluctuation. Playing Texas Tech is going to produce a lot more chances for sacks as opposed to playing GT who only throws the ball 15 times a game. And it's not just schemes but respobsiblities in that scheme. A DE for one team could be a strongside DE who is tasked with playing the run as opposed to the weakside DE who is just going to rush the passer. ETA and it's not just saying Kerrigan's stats were inflated, you look at why the other guys maybe had lower stats.
And it's not just schemes why you should look beyond the stats, Level of competition, talent level of an individual's own teammates, quality of coaching recieved at college, all reasons why college stats should not be the sole determining factor in deciding who to pick.

Guy, just say you dont like Kerrigan, its fine.
Because now you're just talking total nonsense.
Come back when you've broken down all those schemes and shite for every defensive end in the draft. Because im sure thats how you came to your opinion on Kerrigan

right. so then you just draft accordingly. for example, if it's a pass rushing DE you're looking for like the Saints are, then a player like Kerrigan with "inflated" pass rushing stats, who's only job was strictly to get to the QB will naturally stand out over other DE prospects when being scouted. Of course its always better if a DE is great at getting to the QB and stopping the run but whats wrong with only needing a player to one thing and do it great?

I completely agree with this. Its stupid to not take every aspect into consideration when scouting a player. but first things first is that you must get noticed by your performance on the field (i.e. stats) and then the evaluation of competition, team talent, coaching ect ect comes into play.
